300 Paintings

Is art a joke? In 2021, Sydney comedian Sam Kissajukian created 300 large-scale paintings, unknowingly documenting his mental states through a 5-month manic bipolar episode. In this hilarious, fascinating, and wildly original show, he examines that time and explores the ties between art, mental health, and creativity.

A sold-out hit at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and winner of eight fringe festival awards across Australia including four for Best Comedy, the production includes a curated exhibition of Sam’s acclaimed artwork in Vineyard Theatre’s lobby spaces, which audiences are invited to tour before and after the show.
